BROWN-BULGER.

  The home of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bulger at Woodbury was the scene of a very 
beautiful wedding Wednesday evening May 29, at 6 o'clock when their daughter 
Miss Jennie, became the bride of Mr. James Brown of Martinsburg.
  The house was very tastefully decorated with mock-orange, locust blossoms and 
mountain ferns.  The decorating was supervised by Miss Gertrude Keiser of 
Altoona and Miss Elizabeth Longenecker of Woodbury.
  As the clock struck off the hour for the ceremony, the bridal party entered the 
parlor, accompanied by Miss Rhoda Bulger, sister of the bride, as maid-of-honor, 
and Miss Margaret Hoover as bridesmaid.  The groom was accompanied by Mr. Elwood 
Brown as groomsman and Mr. Frank Crissman as best man.
  The ceremony was performed by the bride's pastor, Rev. J. A. Mattern of the 
Methodist Episcopal church.  The ring ceremony was used.  Prof. Joseph Wagner 
Hoffman presided at the piano playing the wedding march from Lohengrin.  The 
bride was attired in white messaline and the groom wore the conventional black.
  Immediately after the ceremony and congratulations some one announced that 
Photographer S. B. Fluke was in waiting to take a picture of the bridal party.  
After the picture was taken, dinner was announced.  All repaired to the dining 
room where the table fairly groaned with all the season's palatable foods.
  It is needless to say all enjoyed the dinner which was so well prepared by the 
bride's mother and her friends.  The bride is one of Woodbury's most popular 
young ladies and has a kind word for all.  The groom is one of Martinsburg's 
popular and industrious young men.  One hundred or more guests gathered to 
witness the ceremony.  The presents are beautiful and valuable.  They consisted 
of the finest of linen, silverware of all kinds, rugs, money, China, glass and a 
great deal of very nice hand embroidery.
